Suppose 'some' man wants to lodge a complaint of 'some' case of bribery which happened 2 yrs back.
And this man was eye witness of that case of bribery happened 2 yrs back.
The amount of money what 'some' accused accepted from 'some' person in that case was too small to create any disproportion in his property , inside his known source of income.
There was not any criminal misconduct.
Now that accused has stopped demanding and accepting bribe from 1 year.....Means now he can't be catched RED HANDED.
Will A.C.B. deny to take this complaint ?
Is it impossible now to punish that accused for the bribery, which he demanded & accepted 2 yrs back IN SUCH CASE , in INDIA?

If the bribery case is with regard to any public servant covered under the provision of Prevention of Corruption Act1988, since the amount of punishment under this Act in all cases is upto 5 years imprisonment there is no time limit under section 468 of the Criminal Procedure Code for filing or taking cognizance of such an offence by the criminal court in India. The matter here relates to an offence committed 2 years back with an eyewitness to the incidence is sufficient for the court to take cognizance & punish the accused for the offence of taking bribery even if it happened 2 years back. Although there was no further demand of bribery after this incidence will not be a ground to set the guilty free on this account for offence already committed by him & with an eyewitness to the incidence.

How about you worry more about India's hygiene instead of eyewitness issues. Does anyone know how many shots an American needs to go to that country?
